TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

Do you really think that the IRS doesn’t go check his returns with a fine tooth comb every year! If there was any minute item that they could get him on, we would have heard by now! Do you not realize that a brigade of tax accountants and lawyers prepare his Taxes? The only reason that you Trump H**ERS want to see them is to have something to gossip about! It AIN’T gonna happen......So, move on!

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli. Loc: Pa

Since you were able to find this website I would expect you could google something. Maybe that's why you are a Trumpster.

The Evidence Is Clear: Polls Are Not To Be Trusted

Political polling season has arrived and serious minded people need to be wary. If you believe the coming e******n is important to your investment strategy and you want to approach the e******n with a clear head, take polls with a grain of salt.

There’s a simple, unassailable t***h about polls in the last e******n: they routinely surveyed more Democrats than Republicans, leading, I believe, to skewed results - a massive head f**e that rippled through the markets. I recommend that you not react to polls. Or, better yet, see for yourself by finding the details of how each survey was conducted. Here are a few recent examples of polls that garnered big headlines but that might just be inaccurate.

On July 15th, headlines in the Wall Street Journal and NBC roared, “Trump trails Biden, Warren, and Sanders” citing a recent poll, but is this really the case? Upon further investigation, the poll is comprised of 42% Democrats, 36% Republicans, 12% Independent, and 10% “other” or “not sure.” The categories “other” and “not sure” are left undefined, but they almost certainly contribute to what appears to be a misrepresentation. Recently, CNBC followed the same playbook, broadcasting headlines, “Trump Not Boosted by Strong American Economy." They reached this conclusion from the results of a poll conducted by the Associated Press- National Opinions Research Center in June. Respondents were asked if they approved of the overall job done by the president and if his tax cuts were benefiting them. Only 39% of individuals approved of Trump and a measly 17% of people claimed they benefited from his tax policy. Both of these figures are strikingly low, with 39% being the lowest average approval rating in decades. Taking a closer look, the poll lacks accuracy at its core. Out of 1,116 adults, 46% were Democrats, 36% were Republican and 44% were unemployed. If a ten percentage point difference in the political party wasn't enough to facilitate a bias, 44% unemployment ought to do it.





On August 13th, headlines blared about a Fox News poll ranking the Democrats and declaring that if the e******n was held today, Donald Trump would lose to each of the top three Democrat candidates. This poll hit the mainstream news echo chamber for a week as the press fashioned any number of doomsday headlines (to which Donald Trump had to respond that he "was not happy with it"). Of course, that statement hit the news for another week. Here, too, it appears that the results are skewed. It turns out that Fox News polled 8% more Democrats than Republicans.

For proof of the distorting effects of such polling, just consider the Trump vs. Clinton race in 2016. Out of twenty polls conducted by some of the most reputable news sources in the U.S., there was only one (IBD/TIPP) that gave Trump the edge on e******n day. Most of these polls gave Clinton a 70% chance to win and some were 99% convinced. Not surprisingly, CNBC published an article titled, “Trump Victory All but Impossible Based on Previous Races” a month before the e******n. Obviously, CNBC was pretty far off the mark. Again, attention to detail matters. In the research conducted in October 2016, 43% of the individuals interviewed were Democrats, 36% were Republicans, and 16% claimed to be Independent. Based on their prediction and the real outcome of the e******n, it’s possible that seven percentage points is more than just a rounding error.


So, as the barrage of poll-driven headlines commences, take a moment, follow these easy instructions and see for yourselves if the story line created by pollsters is accurate. If you look closely, you can find links imbedded in or at the bottom of each article or perhaps below graphs, if provided. Once you find the link to the source, you will be able to browse through the demographic and party affiliation data to make your own decision on its accuracy. That way, you can have a sober investment strategy as the e******n unfolds.

The 2016 e******n is proof that polls are useless. They had Hillary ahead right up to when she dropped out and destroyed a big screen TV that I think was donated to her by Saudi Arabia

I'm fine with t***sparency with any elected person in congress. Now we just have to find a better way to excommunicate them aside from the first choice of firing them out of a cannon.

Cuda2020

The IRS does numbers, it doesn't concern themselves with who they are doing business with.

jeff smith

jeff smith

Cuda2020

Yes but his tax return will show it, and if anything is suspect he would be investigated, with things like cavorting with an enemy. Please don't tell me Russia,China or N.Korea is our friend.
